Mental Health Week 10 - 14 October 2011
October is the month to activate, engage and educate our community about mental health and wellbeing.
Walk 4 Wellness
There are strong links between mental wellbeing and engaging in
physical activities such as walking. Make it a walk with
friends and your local community and it is a real boost to your
mental health! Join us on Monday 10th
October 10.30am as we walk from the Surf Lifesaving Club along
the promenade and finish with a light lunch.
Spot prizes can be won by those who pre-register for the
event. headspace South West Victoria is offering a Nespresso
CitiZ Coffee Machine to one lucky local workplace who sets a good
example by having high staff participation. Register today at

YEW Team Out and About in Schools
Our young people from YEW (Youth Education and Wellbeing) will
be talking with students at local schools all week
advocating for mental health and young people in the
community. They will be telling a bit about their story, talking
about mental health and where to get help. They aim to reduce
the stigma that is around mental health and let people know that it
is okay to ask for help. Young people tend to connect really well
when other young people are the main speakers in the
presentations.
